Started planning this swap some time ago and now putting it into action. Swapping 94-95 5.0 into 99 v6 and here is what I have so far. Pulled old motor and transmission ( transmission will be reused for now). Changed k member to a 94-95 v8, bolted 5.0 to v6 transmission and installed. With help from Decifa selected to use a 2000 gt ecm, engine and computer harnesses are from a 2002 gt ( a couple of pigtails are different so repined them). Engine is converted to edis with cop utilizing a 97 explorer cam position sensor and 35 tooth crank wheel on front of balancer. Fabricated a bracket for crank sensor mounting. Had to do some shimming for Belt alignment. Have fired engine briefly with 4.6 Ecm but a lot of work to be done on tuning but it will be alive again!!

Ordering my Quarterhorse today. Was playing with tuner pro some and was wondering if I can write my pats code to the new tune to keep my anti-theft? Would need to read it off old eec to use in replacement one. I have old harness for eec can I make a bench harness to retrieve old pats code?

When I go to start it up I will need to get base timing set by adjusting postion of my crank sensor. what should I do to my spark tables so it will not be adding or retarding at idle? not sure witch tables to use either.

ok so far this is what I have done pats and vin transferred, engine displacement change to 5.0, egr deleted, numego switched to 1, spark global multiplier set to 0. Anything else I should do before startup? Hope to get to try it this weekend

finally got to work on it some. Progress so far is had to disable pats ( wouldn't start with pats code ) will figure that out later. Got it to idle enough to check timing and it is way to far advanced with global multiplier set at 0 and global offset at 0 also. Might need to remake bracket for crank sensor will check out more tomorrow . Was comparing my tune to "2000GT54" on forum and notice it has spark base set at all 60.0. Is that something I need to do also?
